Yes: Actually, yes. Long hair can trigger tension type headaches. Although, there is no guarantee that cutting your hair will reduce the frequency of the headaches.

Yes: It is possible to get a headache from wearing a "tight" ponytail everyday. Probably not necessary to cut your hair unless you would like to.
